Through the Market Administration Office, Teos contacted four Turii shipowners (since he only brought one ship).
With the manager's assurance (the manager guaranteed him that the shipowners would fulfill their duties responsibly because they were prospective citizens of the Tula Alliance, and any breach of contract would damage their credibility and lead to the immediate revocation of their citizenship), Teos felt confident enough to negotiate rental prices for the ships.
After signing the charter agreements, he finally relaxed and had time to explore the market.
Although Turii's market was relatively simple, it was well-managed, orderly, and fairly clean—there was no unpleasant smell, which was rare.
The market offered a dazzling array of goods with great variety.
